Few people may know that Benjamin Yuen (袁偉豪) actually started his career in the entertainment industry in 1996 as a model. Although he was given many opportunities and went on to act in a number of films, his career never quite picked up and his popularity began to decrease. Benjamin decided to leave the entertainment industry in 2003 and sought to make a living as marketing executive instead.

After a few years, Benjamin decided to try his luck again in the entertainment industry. His winning of the 2007 Mr. Hong Kong competition gave him this second chance. Despite his tall figure, good looks, and toned body, Benjamin’s acting career remained lackluster, with audiences criticizing his wooden acting.
